Middle School Matters

Elizabeth Bleicher at Ithaca College directed my attention to the series The New York Times has been running on middle schools. The most recent piece,"For Teachers, Middle School Is Test of Wills" focuses on "changing theories of how middle school should be taught." There's also a multimedia slide show and some video (including teacher interviews). As usual, registration is required. (This story has been at or near the top of the NYT's most emailed items for the past couple of days, which says something about the public's interest.)
